And it also depends on your own internet service on how good of a ping you get, Where I currently live on my old internet I’d get a ping of 200 now that I’ve got somewhat better internet I can get a ping of 90-130 which is still quite high, but that’s pinging the same server. When I lived with better internet I’d get really good pings and never had a problem playing games unless it was per to per, like cod or something like that. So even if you live two blocks away from the server you could get bad ping if your internet net sucks. Azure isn't going to be the greatest experience for everyone, besides if you playing someone across the country what's the chance you're going to be hitting the sever closes to you? Maybe you're on the one closes to him. Now what happens if you get thrown in the mix with people in another country? Do they cut that out?
What happens if Sony lets you run your own sever? Like folding at home, but instead of cloud computing you just turn it into a server when you’re not using it. Hell I’d buy a second ps4 just for that.

This is where the match making servers come into play. Spin up server and then match people to that servers with the highest ping. This is what the CDO developers stated they were doing.
As for Sony letting you run your own server, that could be a good move for them. It could give them something unique that MS is not doing and it could balance the cost of renting servers from a company like rackspace.

Yeah, i get that. That's what they would do now anyway. If i have a better ping to the "florida server" thats where i'll play, but say i want to play with my friend in FL, TX and Cali im in OK. Then what happens then? Add is skill based Match making, and reputation then things look even more bleak for their claim of getting the best ping. And it quite possible with my interent that i'll still have a laggy game.
BTW, my whole point is just staying don't count sony out on Anything, there's always more than one way to skin a cat. People that say they can't do this and that are just being silly and need to pull their head out of the sand.
